Came to Ahli-Baptist hospital this morning to decrease the load on Shifa hospital and try to clear some beds. Operations ran late so I stayed and did not go back to Shifa as I do every day around 4pm. The randomness of death is its most cruel feature.

Every American I know who has spent time in Palestine comes back angry, disgusted and traumatized. I’ve yet to meet someone who says “it’s not that bad. It’s their fault and they deserve it”. I’ve met many who went believing Israel were the good guys and Palestinians screwed themselves over only to come back with an entirely disgusted view of Israel.

I came back in a state of shock. I witnessed in real life things I had only read about in history books. Things I never believed a government could do in modern times. I had a neutral view of Israel prior to my trip. During my trip I was extremely skeptical and even pissed off several Palestinians with my lines of questioning. When I came back to the states and began processing everything… I couldn’t turn on the lights or get myself out of bed for a week. What I saw was unimaginable. It was a cruelty aimed at a group of generous and warm people with a very very clear intent- to get rid of them. And I couldn’t believe the group doing it to these people had it done to them not long ago. They took similar tactics and weaponized them against others. That is what I saw and I can’t unsee it. The children in the schools would stop me and beg me to come home and tell America to stop. They know it’s us allowing this abuse.

Myself and everyone I know comes back disgusted with Israel. And many of us weren’t even in Gaza witnessing war. Everyday normal life for Palestinians is cruel and it’s 100% controlled by Israel. And despite what we’ve been spoon fed our whole lives, it’s not done because the Palestinians are violent and dangerous, it’s done to rid the region of them. To make their lives so miserable they either leave or violently rise up giving Israel an excuse to take more land. And the Israelis are not shy about this when you speak to them. Some might couch it with statements like “well we tried peace but they didn’t accept it”. It doesn’t matter how they phrase it, they still end up in the same place which is “they can’t stay” and “we want them gone”.

I evacuated my house after my aunt received a threat call from the IDF.

During the 3 hours I spent in the street, my ancestors’ blood was boiling inside my veins.

I know they had no choice but to leave their homes 75 years ago, but I cannot repeat history.

I’m home now.

The Israeli army has bombarded the Gaza Strip with over 12,000 tonnes of explosives from Oct. 7 to Oct. 24, according to the latest figures released by Palestinian authorities in the enclave.

This map was issued by National Geographic in 1947, one year before the Nakba, there was no such thing called “Israel”.

[Ghassan Abu Sitta, Chair of Conflict Medicine AUB @GhassanAbuSitt1]

2665 children killed. 2665 cheeky smiles, 2665 dreams of tomorrow, 2665 favourite cartoon characters, 2665 favourite meals....2665 someone's everything

The reporter becomes the news; Gaza.

This is an unnamed premature baby. His mother, Fatima al-Hirsh, was killed by Israel's bombardment on Gaza along with his entire family. She was still pregnant, and doctors delivered him as she drew her last breath. We will name him Naji, survivor, for now. Israel’s aggression is threatening Naji’s life and the lives of 130 premature babies, who face imminent death if Israel continues to block deliveries of fuel and medicines. Already more than 2000 Palestinian children killed by Israeli air strikes. What justifies this? Nothing!

I was consoling 13 year old Halla as she woke up from the anaesthetic. I said "it will be right, the surgery is finished". She said it to me " it will never ever be alright. They killed my mum and dad."

[Omar Gaza 🇵🇸 @Omar_Gaza]

Toughest, bloodiest, longest and darkest night in #Gaza. Heavy bombings everywhere, too many killed. I don't know why we post or tweet when the world clearly doesn't care. It's been 17 days & counting.
